Arsenic & Vieilles Dentelles

Sometimes good things come from being bad. Designer Laure Hurlet’s self-described greediness for fashion inspired her to create and launch her lingerie brand Arsenic & Vieilles Dentelles (A&VD). The Belgium-born designer launched the brand in 2012 and most recently showcased A&VD at last month’s Lingerie Fashion Week.

Arsenic & Vieilles Dentelles debut collection – Eat Your Little Pea – is steeped in the designer’s appreciation for Slow Fashion and offers lingerie fanatics a high-quality collection that is artful, sensuous and designed to be loved.

Laure adds: Arsenic & Vieilles Dentelles is a Lingerie label that believes sexy lingerie is more than a clothing — it’s a second skin, a real fashion accessory that acts as a beauty product within which women can have fun, express their personality and reveal their own sensuality.

Visitors to Lingerie Fashion Week had a chance to see the collection and meet Laure and her team in person at the event’s “One’s to Watch Exhibition”. The brand’s website showcases the collection of bras, knickers, thongs, garters, suspenders and A&VD’s very own Shibari-inspired rope.

Every A&VD intimates style is playfully named after a species of Pea and we’re sure every one of our readers will fall in love with the brand’s Mushy Pea suspender made from delicate black silk mesh and decorated with little black dots on the front. All of Arsenic & Vieilles Dentelles’ items are made from high end, environmentally safe materials and crafted in Belgium.
